Product Information
Full details
This Georganics Charcoal Dental Floss is designed for environmentally conscious individuals seeking a natural and effective oral hygiene solution. Its key benefit lies in its biodegradable, compostable materials and peppermint oil infusion, which helps combat gum disease-causing bacteria, while the main caveat is its texture may differ from conventional plastic floss. This plastic-free floss utilizes charcoal fibers and corn-based PLA, coated with vegetable wax and organic peppermint oil, all housed in a reusable glass dispenser.

FAQs
Is this floss suitable for sensitive gums?
Yes, the floss is designed to be gentle. The organic peppermint oil can help soothe gums, and the biodegradable materials are a natural choice for sensitive oral care.
How do I refill the glass dispenser?
Open the glass dispenser, remove any remaining spool, and place a new floss refill spool inside. Thread the end of the floss through the opening and close the dispenser.
Can I compost this dental floss?
Yes, the Georganics Dental Floss is made from compostable corn-based PLA and charcoal fibers, making it suitable for composting.
What is the difference between this and regular plastic floss?
This floss is made from natural, biodegradable materials like charcoal and corn-based PLA, coated with vegetable wax and peppermint oil, unlike conventional plastic floss which is petroleum-based and not biodegradable.
Does the charcoal leave stains?
The charcoal is integrated into the fibers and coated with wax. While unlikely to cause staining, it's always recommended to rinse thoroughly after flossing. If you experience any issues, consult your dentist.
How long does the 50-meter spool last?
This depends on individual usage frequency and length used per session. For daily use, a 50-meter spool typically lasts for several weeks to a couple of months.
Is the peppermint oil strong?
The peppermint oil provides a refreshing flavor and therapeutic benefits. It is generally considered a pleasant, moderate level of flavor, but sensitivity can vary per individual.
Troubleshooting
Floss breaks easily
Ensure you are not applying excessive force. Gently guide the floss between teeth. If the issue persists, try a different section of the floss as there might be an inconsistency.
Difficulty gliding between teeth
The vegetable wax coating aids glide. If it feels rough, ensure the floss is stored in a dry environment. Gently work the floss back and forth.
Dispenser cutter is not sharp
The cutter is designed for a clean cut. If it struggles, ensure the floss is taut against the cutting edge when you pull and cut.
Residue left on teeth
This can sometimes occur with charcoal floss. Ensure you are rinsing your mouth thoroughly after flossing. If it continues, try rinsing with water after flossing.
